STEP 2Let's Meet... |

appropriate funding source. Take a look at the Fundlink page of the Grants
Central website – it’s a great place to start. |

here on Fundlink to bring you the latest grant
funding opportunities available for educational programs and services.
|
|
STEP 3Pros & Cons… |
|
If we match your idea with a funding agency, we’ll post a summary of your proposed
project and the funding agency requirements online at the RFP Post page of
Grants Central. Key individuals will then
be asked to visit the site and evaluate the opportunity.
|
|
Input
received from the
RFP Post
(sample)
will determine your “competitive positioning” with the funding agency. |
|
STEP 4 Teamwork Begins…
|
|
Once the decision is made to proceed, we’ll assemble a grants planning team;
establish a timeline of tasks; and assign responsibilities. The grants planning team will
use the Director’s Corner area of Grant’s Central to facilitate
team communication and file sharing. |
|

Director's Corner
- an
area that will provide resources and online collaborative work areas to assist you with
developing your grant proposal. |
|
|
|
STEP 5Review & Sign-off… |
|
Once the grant proposal is completed, we’ll begin an internal review process that
includes appropriate faculty, staff, and administrators. After the review and sign-off,
our Office will prepare and submit the proposal to the funding agency. |
